Chapter 23: Bad Woman
Jiang Meng read Su Qingyue's self-criticism at a glance, sneered, tore it up, and put the paper scraps into her own bag.
"Call Su Qingyue out!" Zhang Guoqiang roared, giving Jiang Meng a big fright.
She was stunned for a moment, then saw an old couple walk into the cooperative.
Li Dongmei gritted her teeth, "Is there a salesperson named Su Qingyue in your Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative?!"
Jiang Meng saw that the visitors were not kind, and the two old people seemed to have a grudge against Su Qingyue.
She rolled her eyes and immediately softened her expression.
Jiang Meng asked patiently, "Uncle, Auntie, Su Qingyue hasn't been in our cooperative for long, and her business ability is not very good. Did she calculate the account wrong for you?"
Hearing that Su Qingyue's business ability was poor, Zhang Guoqiang became bolder, "I want to find your leader. This girl seduced my son and caused him to be sent to the police station."
Jiang Meng's eyes lit up immediately, "Uncle, Auntie, the President is not here right now, but it's the same if you tell me."
"Sit down and tell me slowly..."
Under Jiang Meng's eloquent persuasion, Li Dongmei and her husband mastered the knack of how to make a big scene, and both praised Jiang Meng endlessly.
"A girl like you is worthy of our son! Beautiful, kind-hearted, and a city person."
Li Dongmei's eyes flashed, "Girl, what's your monthly salary?"
How could Jiang Meng not know the intentions of these two old people? She smiled sweetly, "I am an intermediate salesperson, my monthly salary is 32 yuan."
Jiang Meng was the second child in her family. Her parents favored her older brother and two younger brothers, and her salary was squandered by her family every month.
If she didn't hand over the money to her family, she would be married off by her parents to a 50-year-old widower in the courtyard.
Jiang Meng had cried and made scenes, but it was useless. Now she had no more than a dozen yuan in her pocket.
Zhang Guoqiang's son was a seventh-level worker at the printing factory, with a monthly salary of nearly 80 yuan.
If such a man could marry her, she could escape the sea of misery.
But she couldn't just listen to the one-sided words of these two old people.
Jiang Meng was full of thoughts and decided to wait until the scene was made tomorrow to see. If Su Qingyue really harmed their son, she would add fuel to the fire when President Zhang returned to make Su Qingyue roll out of the cooperative.
In this way, she would have one less competitor, Zhang Jun's parents would be grateful to her, and maybe she would have a chance to marry after Zhang Jun was released.
If Su Qingyue didn't harm anyone, she would just watch the show.
Anyway, making a scene wouldn't have any impact on Su Qingyue.
Su Qingyue got off the bus and saw her older brother waiting for her on the side of the road with Zhuangzhuang.
"Auntie, I'm here to pick you up!" Su Zhuangzhuang hugged Su Qingyue's thigh and opened his little hand to hand over a White Rabbit creamy candy.
Su Qingyue's dullness of the day was swept away. She pinched Zhuangzhuang's face, "Auntie won't eat it. Zhuangzhuang, eat it and grow up quickly, and come pick Auntie up from work in the future, okay?"
Su Zhuangzhuang swallowed his saliva, "Okay then, I'll grow up in a few days after eating it. Auntie, you wait for me!"
Her brother asked about the progress of the case. After Su Qingyue finished, Su Qingwu sighed.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. When that kid gets out, he'll have a hard time!"
"Big Brother, don't do anything stupid! Let's just wait for the police to handle it."
After returning home and eating dinner, Su Qingyue made an excuse that she was too full and took Su Zhuangzhuang for a stroll to the river, and even walked around Pei Huaiye's thatched cottage three times.
"Auntie, I can't walk anymore!"
Su Qingyue smiled helplessly. Pei Huaiye's thatched cottage didn't have a kerosene lamp on, the wooden door was locked, and he hadn't returned yet.
Su Zhuangzhuang's face was red as he exhaled, "Auntie, I'm hungry from walking."
"Alright, alright, Auntie will take the little glutton home. Go back and eat a piece of chicken cake before sleeping."
Su Zhuangzhuang laughed foolishly, his carefree laughter falling into the night sky.
Pei Huaiye had watched Su Qingyue get on the bus in the afternoon before returning to the base with Yuan Guang. Passing by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he saw Zhang Jun's parents walk in.
"Yuan Guang, turn around!"
Pei Huaiye said coldly, "Zhang Jun's parents might go to the cooperative to make a scene tomorrow. Tell the station in advance."
Yuan Guang saw Jiang Meng sending Zhang Jun's parents out of the cooperative with a smile, and his expression became very ugly.
"It's a settled matter, what do they want to make a scene about?!"
"Su Qingyue doesn't agree to reconcile, they probably want to harm her and make her lose her job!"
Pei Huaiye pondered for a moment, "I need to get a certificate of righteous action from the station."
Yuan Guang was startled and immediately realized, "Let's go get it now, I'll go to the cooperative to watch tomorrow morning."
The two drove to the police station to explain the situation.
Early the next morning, Su Qingyue got up half an hour earlier. She took a detour and passed by Pei Huaiye's door, but the door of the thatched cottage was still locked.
Does he hate me that much? He doesn't even come home!
Su Qingyue felt stifled in her heart. She bit her lip to hold back her tears and took the bus to the cooperative to work.
Just as she sat down.
Zhang Jun's parents brought a group of relatives to make a scene at the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
"Su Qingyue seduced my son and framed him to be sent to the police station. Does the public still dare to use such a person?"
"That's right, is there no justice?"
"Your Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative must fire Su Qingyue. If this slut stays for one day, we will all go to the Shengli Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy things in the future!"
Li Dongmei and Zhang Guoqiang brought more than a dozen people, shouting loudly.
People lining up to buy things all stopped, pricking up their ears and opening their eyes wide to watch this farce.
Su Qingyue was so angry her face turned red. Her defense was drowned out by dirty words.
Zhang Dongfeng had just returned from a business trip and encountered this as soon as he entered the commune. His face was livid.
Jiang Meng gave a wink, and Zhang Guoqiang and his wife immediately surrounded President Zhang, "President, you dare to use a bad woman like Su Qingyue, it really chills the hearts of the common people."
"Stop it, all of you!"
Liu Qiang led a group of police officers to disperse the crowd and shouted at Zhang Guoqiang, "What are you making a scene for!? Your son persecuted a woman and you still have the nerve to make a scene here?!"
Liu Qiang explained the evil deeds Zhang Guoqiang's son had done in public, saying that Su Qingyue was innocent, the savior was Pei Huaiye, and Yuan Guang was a witness.
Pei Huaiye unfolded the certificate of righteous action, "If the Supply and Marketing Cooperative casually..."
"... listens to rumors and fires an innocent employee, that is what truly chills everyone's hearts!"
Li Dongmei was unconvinced and roared uncontrollably, and the police officers couldn't stop her.
"My son just grabbed her, why should he be locked up!"
"She was working well and didn't suffer any loss, why didn't she agree to reconcile with us?"
"Su Qingyue is vicious, she is just trying to kill my son! She is a poisonous woman!"
Pei Huaiye's eyes were so red they could spray fire; he simply wanted to burn Li Dongmei to death.
Yuan Guang looked at the Colonel and was so angry he argued loudly, "Your son deserves it!"
"If he didn't do this disgusting thing, could he have been arrested? It's no wonder you parents could teach such a person!"
Liu Qiang supported his police cap and took out a loudspeaker to roar, "I'll say it again!"
"Comrade Su Qingyue is innocent, she didn't do anything wrong!"
"Zhang Jun played the hooligan himself, he deserves to be arrested! He should be detained and accept criticism and education!"
"Now that Zhang's parents have brought relatives to make a scene, take them all away!"
The police officers took the crowd away. Zhang Guoqiang still wanted to curse.
Liu Qiang was so angry he took out his police baton: "Shout, shout as hard as you can! Obstructing police work and disturbing the order of the commune, take them back to the station for a few days of education!"
After the police left, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative returned to normal.
President Zhang just wanted to talk to Su Qingyue, but was interrupted by her soft voice, "President, can I take a day off?"
Su Qingyue looked anxiously at Pei Huaiye's departing figure, her eyes gradually turning red. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
